Calgary – The City of Calgary is pleased to announce that homeowners can now apply for our most popular home improvement permits online. Applying is faster and easier than ever thanks to The City’s new single application form and 24/7 online services.

“We’ve taken the hassle out of applying for our most popular home improvement permits by offering homeowners the ability to apply for these services from the comfort of their own home,” says Jacqueline Nishikawa, project manager with The City of Calgary. “Customers will be able to apply, upload documents and pay for their permit in a few easy steps, and in most cases, obtain their permit within an business day,” notes Nishikawa.

Calgarians can learn, apply and pay for our most popular home improvement projects on calgary.ca/myhome, including:
